I always thought a tube wrench looked similar to a box end wrench with an opening to fit around the tube?

Oddly the 10" version is cheaper then the 7" version,

Not only that, My new pair of Milwaukee needle nose Vise Grips, make the originals look like a piece of junk. The gripping teeth of the Milwaukee do not get dull. Parrot beak shaped pliers absolutely will not slip on pipe. If a stub of rod remains of a screw parrot beak pliers will grab it.

I work with tools almost all day. My poor grip and limited rotary wrist motion strongly encourages me to buy high end tools.

Like any top quality tool this sucker ain't cheap at $50 but then neither is gasoline or postage to exchange lifetime garbage.

:) Hi, these people can joke all they want, but as a mechanic for decades and a Mac Tools Distributer, Knipex tools work great. I first sold the Channel Lock version, and with their angled teeth, they would bite and never slip. I have no doubt that these will get the job done.

Hey knowledge is everything!

No not everyone knew that.

Go to the Fridge (Frigidaire?!?) heavens that's a brand name contraction.....

Geeze, everybody knows that but it sure isn't what they're referred to by people who use them as tools. "Hand me that adjustable end wrench." Naaahhhh, I don't think so.

Buoy.... Tuff crowd. :B

Here we are seriously discussing tools and NRA wants to bring that metric stuff!
